Hoagland replies, and says nothing.

Did YOU know that Wiki is edited by NASA (Google)? :)

As my grandmother used to say--

"Consider the source."

Hi Richard,

It's
very telling that you only choose to respond to emails where you have
some wiggle room or you can throw forth one of your famous unfalsifiable
claims. You refuse for example, when pressed, to state what units
torsion fields are measured in. You refuse to admit that your Explorer 1
explanation is poppycock due to your inability to apply a simple
equation correctly. But you will boldly state stuff that cannot be
verified.

You could have written that Wiki (or indeed Rational Wiki, as you
claimed in your reply) was edited by two of the surviving Von Trapp
children supervised by Julie Andrews. It sounds as ridiculous as NASA
editing pages dedicated to exposing pseudoscientists, but I cannot state
that it is not true. No matter how preposterous the notion.

You told us that water is a very effective shield with respect
to torsion waves, yet still wanted funding to visit the Baltic Sea
object. Don't you remember being caught with that one ?

Not
ONCE have you addressed your mathematical errors, and in fact they
remain on your page after all these years. Perhaps you are lazy, or
maybe you just don't give a monkey's curse about either your audience or
your critics.

Not once have you provided baselines or controls when
conducting experiments. You have never shown your data. In fact you
stated that, "you would not hand over your data to complete strangers."
This is what we engineers and scientists do on a regular basis Richard.
It's called peer review.

Expat caught you faking data. You were nicked 100% with no get out
of jail free card. You said there is a mile square ziggurat on the Moon,
knowing the source of the data was from a teenage gamers forum, and
quite probably knowing that the image was a fake, and not a very good
one at that. Not a word though from you or Mike now that kksamurai has
shown up with the original that he faked all those years ago.

As my Grandfather used to say, "If you can never admit to making a mistake, you can never be a real man."
